The vehicle involved in the hit-and-run was described as a 2003 to 2007 gray Infiniti G35 sports coupe with tinted windows, and was being driven by a white male, according to police.

The front of the car was damaged in the crash, said Santa Monica police Sgt. Jay Moroso.

“Some glass particles, or something like that, was at the scene of the investigation,” he said.

Authorities shut down the Ocean Avenue exit on State Route 1 while they investigated the collision, according to the release.

“It’s very scary because you see, right now, it’s so populated, there’s so many tourists,” said Bernatette Vrijlal, a frequent visitor to the area. “Even at night, I’ve been here and there’s cars coming, there’s people walking around, just checking out the area. So it’s very surprising that this would happen.”
